REPORT of the PROCEEDINGS at the SECOND ORDINARY GENERAL MEE I'ING of Shareholders, held at the London Tavern, on THURSDAY, 28th July, 1864 ; WILLIAM CHARLES BROWN, Esq., in the Chair. The Secretary read the notice convening the meeting, and the following report of the Directors and the statement of accounts : The Directors feel much pleasure in he'll.. ' able to present a statement of accounts showi n g that the business of the Company continues to make steady and most satisfactory progress, and that a safe and profitable business has been transacted. The gross prcfits made during the six months ending the 30th ult. have been £7'2.99 135 4d. This amount, after de ducting £43,741 15s 4et for rebate on bills not due, and the current expenses. has enabled the Directors to increase the reserve fund to £25,000, and to declare a dividend at the rate of eight per cent. per annum (tree of ncome tax), pay able ()if and after Monday, the let of August next, leaving a balance of £1,411 13s 9d to carry forward to profit and loss new account. The Directors desire to call attention to the following facts. In April, 1863, soon after commencing business, the amount of loans and deposits entrusted to the Com pany was about £1,000,000 ; at the close of the year the amount was £2,600,000; on the 30th June last, as the an nexed accounts show, it had augmented to nearly three millions and a half. As the extent of the Company's operations must in a great measure be proportionate to the amount of deposits and loans placed in its care, the Directors wish to observe that the more the Shareholders and their friends become depositors the greater will be the profits accruing to the Company. \V.

The noble lord the member for Arundel may be congratulated by men of all parties out of the House, as he was at once very earnestly congratulated by men of all parties in the House, for the really ad mirable speech delivered by him yesterday upon the subject of Emigration to America. That speech of Lord EDWD. HOWARD'S was immediately recognised as one of such conspicuous excellen e that, directly after the close of it, the suggestion came from both sides of the House of Commons that it should, out of consideration for the public interests generally, be circulated as widely as possible throughout the United Kingdom. Even the stormy, fiery, redhot Tory member for Devonport insisted upon it, that the working classes of this country as well as of Ireland must feel greatly indebted to the noble lord for the able and important speech he had just delivered. Mr. FERRAND adding thereupon that that speech ought (as previously suggested by Mr. LAYARD) to be circulated throughout' the country. The expense of doing so, said the hon. member, might be great, nevertheless he (Mr. FERRAND) would ask the Government whether they had not some money in their hands which could be usefully employed for that purpose. For example, said the member for Devonport, seriocomically as one might say, and in the midst of mingled laughter and applause, for example—the secret-service money ! Again, in regard to this remarkable speech of Lord EDWARD HOWARD'S—what said the Irish Secretary—what said Sir ROBERT PEEL ? Why, nothing less than this—that the excellent, humane, and charitable demonstration of the noble lord would, he hoped, be productive of much good in opening the eyes of the poor dupes ! The dupes, that is, of those emissaries from Ame rica who are notoriously going about hither and thither in this country, promoting in an underhand manner the illegal cause of Federal enlistment. The Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, however, was the very first, as he was, everything considered, the most earnest panegyrist of the veritable good service done by the delivery of the noble lord's able imp/ essive exposition before the House of Commons, his exposition (through the medium of his speech) of the evils resulting from the continuance of this systematic emigration to America, of men who are really entrapped for the purposes of Federal Enlist. ment. Mr. LAYARD yesterday did not simply eons tent himself with expressing his opinion that his noble friend, the member for Lrundel, had done good service by the able and impartial address he just delivered to the House." He said—while re marking that it was a difficult question for the Government to deal with—that " he (Mr. LAYARD) did not know a better way of dealing with this difficult question than by publishing throughout the kingdom the important state- ment just made by the noble 'lord. It as impossible for the Government to deal with the matter except by reiterating the warning of his noble friend, and by doing all they could to instruct those who were likely to cross the Atlantic in regard to the real facts of the case and the dangers to which they were likely to expose themselves," Than this declaration on the part of the honourable gentle man the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, nothing surely could be more strikingly eulogistic of the speech which had been just previously delivered in the House of Commons, the speech then so very freshly within the recollec tion of those who were listening to Mr. LAYARD'S instant commentaries therenpo;:. While we would express our very cordial concurrence in these well deserved commendations of the remarkable speech here referred to as having fallen from the lips of the noble lord the member for Arundel, we would fain urge upon those upon whom ought now to devolve the duty of carrying out the wishes of the House of Commons in regard to Lord EDWARD HOWARD'S speech of yesterday—we would fain urge upon them the necessity of at once carrying out those wishes in earnest by causing to be reprinted and very 'widely circulated an accurate report of that excellent and impressive harangue. The glorious uncertainty of the law—proverbial is this country from time immemorial—has but just now, as recently as yesterday, had a new and a very striking illustration. Nominally, the YELVER TON Case was yesterday brought to an end deft• nitively. Referring though we do here to the deci• sion thus pronounced upon this important case by the highest court of judicature in the land, we use, advisedly, the significant adverb, and we hesitate not to reiterate the remark, that this decision of the Law Lords is, after all, no more than nominally (es contradistinguished from practically) conclu sive. The meaning of which, at first sight, in comprehensible assertion, is readily to be explained by the circumstance that yet another proceeding has been taken by Mrs. THERESA YELVERTON, nee ,LONGWORTH, the consequence of which proceeding on her part is quite eff,ctuaily to prevent the judgment which was pronounced yesterday by the Law Lords, in the House of Peers, from being made final in Scotland, until the parties to the suit shall have been finally examined upon oath. It will be observed that the decisio❑ pronounced in favour of the petitioner, Major WILLIAM CHARLES YELVERTON, has been simply the decision of a majority—not by any means an unanimous decision against the respondent. Ostensibly, the majority is considerable. In reality, it is insignificant. Ap parently, it is a decision pronounced as by three to one for the petitioner and against the respondent. Literally it is a decision carried by the smallest of all possible majorities—that of one. For, while three of the law lords (all of them present) were yester. day for the reversal of the judgment pronounced by the lower Courts--were, in other words, in favour of Major YELVERTON, and against Mrs. THERESA YELVETON nee LoNowOßTFl—two other of the law lords (one present the other absent) were as distinctly of a totally different opinion. And, observe who they were that wore for the petitioner and who they were that were for the respOndent. For Major YeLvEuToN, against Mrs. THERESA YELVERTON née LoNOWORTH, were—of these Law• Lords—whom ? Lord WENs. LEYDALE 1 Lord KINGSDOWN! And Lord CHELMS FORD I Whereas, upon the other side, who, let it be distinctly borne in mind, were the law lords who pronounced (one by word of mouth, one by message) just exactly otherwise? Pronounced, that is, dis tinctly, deliberately, emphatically, in favour of Mrs. THERESA YELVERTON tee LONOWORTEL and against Major YELVERTON, the Petitioner ! Who were the Law Lords who so thought, so decided ? Why, no others than— LordWEsnuarand Lord BROUGHAM ! The latter, the most venerable And illustrious THE SUN,' LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 29, 1864. among our group of ex• Chancellors—as he is also one of the most remarkable men of genius living—she es• Chancellor Lord BROUGHAM ! And—coincident in opinion with L - ird BROUGHAM in this matter— speaking from the elevation appert4ining to the actual occupant of the Woolsack—the greatest among all living Lawyers—Lord WESTBURY, now the Lord High Chancellor ! These are the two men whose judgments confirm the pre- vious decisions pronounced in the lower Courts in favour of the Respondent ! If the Peti tioner is backed by the favourable decision of Lord WENSLEYDALE, of Lord KINGSDOWN, and of Lord CHELMSFORD (reversing the judgments pronounced pronounced against him by the lower Courts, here in Scotland, there in Ireland)—the Respondent is backed by the equally positive opinion in her favour (confirmatory of those previous judgments) by Lord WESTBURY and by Lord BROUGHAM ! Altogether the result arrived at, is about as unsatisfactory and as bewildering of its kind, in regard to the YELVERTON . Case, as the decision arrived at the close of the dispute in the old fable as to the precise definition of the colour of the chameleon. The withdrawal of the Mutual Surrender of Cri mina's (Prussia) Bill will be received with genera satisfaction. It was not, indted, probable that the measure could ever have become law in the face of so formidable an opposition as it excited, but Sir GEORGE GREY has done wisely in refraining from prEsslng the matter, and in acknowledging that in this matter the popular representatives fairly repre- rented the feeling of the public. It is not surprising ,hat the House of Commons should look with some suspicion on the terms of any treaty about to be concluded between this country and Prussia. The members of our Government have shown themselves collectively and individually to stand in such wholesome awe of the terrible M. BISMARK, to be so easily influenced by his wishes, so readily pacified by his explanations, so confiding in the general high-mindedness and generosity of the King, Ca binet, and people of Berlin, that plain ED glish folks, whose views and principles will not adapt themselves so promptly to foreign fashion, may naturally be unwilling to leave too much to their discretion. In the case which has lately been brought under the notice of Parliament there is especial reason for watchfulness. There is perhaps none of the ruling principles of our political code more generally received and more readily acquiesced in by men of all shades of op nion than that which affords unquestioning shelter and unhesitating protection to the exile flying from political or social persecution in his own country. Englishmen pride themselves on the welccmc which they give to the unfortunate whether or no they sympathise in the views or the actions which have produced their misfortunes. Prince and peasant, Orleanist and Bonapartist, slave-driver and slave, are alike safe from the vengeance or the prejudice of their countrymen so soon as they reach our shores; and in the solitary exception to the national hospi tality which occurred in the case of Marshal HAY. NAt, it must be remembered that he was no fugitive driven from his country, but a favoured noble tak, ing his ease while Hungarian homes were desolated by his means. However much foreign Govern. ments may dislike or distrust this our traditional practice they may all feel thankful that they have such an asylum in reserve, while Continental Sove reigns may learn a profitable lesson from the recol lection that the past and the present ruler of no less a country than France have at different periods of their lives been glad to avail themselves of an English shelter. But with all our fervour of feel ing on this point we do not carry our views to such an absurd extreme as to wish to harbour criminals. If our colonists are unwilling to receive English malefactors, under legal restraints and with proper guardianship, we are certainly not in clined to have the villains of all nations let loose upon us. We have criminals enough of our own if we may judge from the disastrous record of the last few weeks, and the sagacity or activity of our police force is scarcely competent to keep pace with them. It is by no means desirable that every law-breaker of foreign states shall flee to England as a refuge from offended justice. Neither can we be anxious that our own offenders shall be able to secure im munity from punishment by escaping our shores. With the immense traffic that is continually going on it would be a serious thing if every felon who could contrive to get beyond the immediate reach of English jurisdiction were able to feel secure. It would be felt on all hands to be a direful blow to public security and public order if such a villain as MULLER were able to elude chastisement bf.cause he had crossed the Atlantic. A treaty of extradi tion then secures mutual interests and public rights. The code of moral and social offences is happily much the same throughout Christendom, and those offences which are most fatal to life and happiness are, by common consent, regarded with equal abhorrence, and liable to much the same degree of punishment, in most parts of Europe and America. But it is very necessary to preserve a strict line of demarca tion between political and other offences, nor is there any unfairness in our insisting upon mak ing the distinction clearly and unreservedly. If we refuse to surrender political offenders to their offended Governments, we also refrain from making any similar demand upon them. Chartists and democrats who have succeeded in stirring up agitation in the United Kingdom have escaped across the seas unpureued, and we are not likely to trouble France or America with any appeals for the surrender of a refractory citizen, or unpopular statesman, or indiscreet man of letters. Our Go vernments have hitherto been careful to frame their extradition treaties with especial regard to this point, with one solitary exception, of which the public were probably unaware until the recent dis cussion had disclosed the fact, that in the terms of the treaty concluded with Denmark two years ago, no such provision was made. If such be the case, the Treaty needs an immediate revision and alteration, but one such instance can be no excuse for committing a still more serious error. As the general law stands, an English magistrate must be satisfied that there is evidence against the accused party of having committed an offence which is punishable by English law. This is the great protection for all political offenders, and our readers will readily recall a notable in stance of the action of this clause, when the sur render of the fugitive slave ANDERSON was refused by the Canadian Judge, on the ground that the offence with which he was charged was not recog nisable by English law. But notwithstanding the general feeling on this matter, and the experience of so many years, the Government has omitted any such provision in the terms of the Convention which it proposes to conclude with Prussia. It binds us to surrender any person who has been convicted, on receiving an authenticated copy of his conviction. So that in place of receiving evi dence of the actual guilt of the accused, we are merely to be told that the Prussian Government holds him guilty. Considering how very widely the notions of Berlin differ from the English sentiments, such a security is by no me ans sufficient. There is perhap s no country i n E urope i n which Englishmen are jest now so little in c li ne d t o trus t . ; and when we re member how easy it is to cite a person known to be absent from the country before a Court at any given time, and to pass judgment in default, we shall certainly not be inclined to depart so far from our old traditionary policy. If such a treaty is to be ccncluded with Austria we shall probably soon hear of a requisition to surrender KOSSUTH and GARI BALDI if ever they come in our way. A civil ex tradition in the case of the Italie.n hero has just been forced upon us, it only remains to follow it up with a less courteous notice to quit. It is certainly an anachronism in our legal administration if felons of any class or country can claim sanctuary under our laws; but while seeking to remedy such a state of things, our legislators will do well to remember that we are now governed by the same Minister who introduced the Men Bill, and that no con siderations of right, reason, or justice are now suf fered to weigh in the balance against the prejudices or requirements of Prussia. The Losses of the Poles in the Insurrection, The following interesting particulars on this sub ject are given by the Ost- see Zcitung, a journal known for its partiality to Russia :—The losses both in men and money suffered by the various portions of ancient Poland in consequence of the insurrec tion may now be given with approximate accuracy. According to accounts, partly derived from official sources, in the Russian and Polish papers, there were, in the course of the 16 months' struggle, about 30,000 insurgents killed or severely wounded in battle, 361 persons exectied, and 85,000 political prisoners deported into Siberia or the interior of Russia. Tbe following is the amount of the fines and extraordinary contributions levied by the Rus sian Government :—ln the kingdom of Poland,. 6 millions of silver roubles (about a million sterling ; in the Lithuanian Governments, 8 millions (£1,300,000); and in Volhynia, Podelia, and Kiew, 01 millions (£1,075,000). The following estates have been either sequestrated or confiscated :—ln the kingdom of Poland, about 700 ; in the Lithua nian Governments, with Volhynia, Podolia, and Kiew, upwards of 2,000. The following amounts were levied in national taxes by the National Go vernment :—ln the kingdom of Poland, 6 millions of silver roubles (£1,000,000); in Lithuania, 3 mil lions (£500,000); in Volhynia, Podolia, and Kiew, 2 millions (£300,000); in Galicia, 21 millions (£375,000); in Posen and West Prussia, 1 million (£150,000). The total sum raised on the two national loans amounts to about 2 millions of eilver roubles (£300,000). Some idea of the magnitude of the sums contributed to the insurrection by indi. vidual landowners may be gathered from the fact that a but moderately wealthy la ndowner of the province of Posen had to pay in the course of the year 1863, 5,000 Polish florins (X 125) on three dif ferent occasions. Landowners who were notoriously wealthy were taxed to the extent of from 20 to 30 thousand Polish florins (£5OO to £750). The num ber of Poles who fled abroad after the insurrection amounts to 10,000 at least, and there are about 6,000 still under examination in prison. The arrests still continue, though not quite so numerous as before. Royal National Lifeboat Institution, A meeting of this institution was held yesterday at its house, John-street, Adelphi—Thomas Chapman, Esq., F.R.S., vice-president, in the chair. There were also pre sent Sir E. Perrott, Bart., M.P., Admiral Gordon, W. H. Harton, Esq., Col. Palmer, G. Lyall, Esq , M.P., Capt. de St. Croix, M. Gore, Esq., Admiral W. H. Hall, C. 8., F.R.S., Alex. Baetefeur, Esq., and It. Lewis, Esq., the secretary. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read, rewat ds, amounting to £2l, were voted to the crews of the lifeboats of the institution stationed at Arklow and Wicklow for going off, in reply to signals of distress, to the assistance of the crew and passengers, ccnsisting of nearly 300 persons, on board the emigrant ship Constitution, from Liverpool to New York, which had stranded on Arklow Bank on the night of the 20th inst. As the weather was not very bois terous, steam-tugs were enabled to approach the vessel and take the passengers on board, and afterwards to bring , the ship to Wicklow. A reward of was also voted to the crew of a shore boat for saving, at considerable risk of life, two men from the cutter Fantom, of Preston, which during squally wca• ther had stranded on Taylor's Bank, in Liverpool Bay, on the 2d inst. It was stated that, owing to the promptiinde and skill of the salvors, the two raen of the cutter were saved, A reward was likewise granted to two men for rescuing at some risk of life, in a small boat, one out of two men whose boat had oapsivd in a strongwind and heavy sea off Inniskeragh, county Donegal, on the 17th inst. One poor fellow unfortunately perished befort assistance could reach him. _ _ The committee expressed their doep condolence with the family of the late Admiral Bertie, C. Cator, who had been for nr.ny years past a valuable and zealous member of the committee of management of the institution. Payments amounting to upwards of £9OO were made on various lifeboat establishments. The committee decided to place lifeboat on the coast at a favourable opportunity, and to WI it the " Sir Samsetjee Jejeebhoy," in acknowledgment cf the munificent g if t of £5OO to the institution by his Bei, the Hon. Rustomjeo Jamseljee Jejeebhoy, of Bombay. The executors of the late Miss Enna Keate, of Kensing ton, had paid her legacy of 2300 to the society ; and the bequest of the late Mrs Duroure, of Blackheath, of £59, had also been received. Lieutenant Rodney Blane, R. 1 ,1,, had collected in China £27 15s 10d, and .L 6 28 had also been received by Lady Blanc, his mother, from her friend 3 and others in Derby, in aid of the funds of the institution. _ . Daring the past month the so3lity had sent new lifeboats to Blackpool, Now Brighton, ancl Senner Cove, Cornwall , They were all gifts of benevolent ?ersons to the institution. The several railway companies hid as usual, given the boats free conveyance over their la nes. The New Brighton lifeboat had been off already to assist a vessel in distress, aLci her crew spoke very highly sf her behaviour on the occasion. At Blackpool a grand demonstration had taken place on the occasion of the launch of the lifeboat; and it is calculated that from 20,000 to ;0,003 people were present on the occasion. _ The Seaman's Association at Drontheim, Christianson, and Nalesund, in Norway and Sweden, had forwarded to the institution £59 13s in admiration of its great and na tional objects, and in acknowledonent of the services some of its lifeboats had rendered tc their shipwrecked fellow countrymen on our coasts. The Pursuit of the Murderer of Mr, Briggs, By a telegram received yesterday from Liverpool, an nouncing the arrival of the Moss Rose, we learn that on Monday afternoon, in latitude 51.16 north, longitude 10.15 west (about 60 miles south..wist of Cape Clear), she was spoken with by the Victoria, fram London to New York, The Victoria requested the Moss Rose to report her speaking with her upon her arrival in Liverpool, The Victoria having only got as far as the south coast of Ireland on the eleventh day after she left London,it is thought probable she will have an unusually long pas sage, and that both Inspector Tanner in the City of Manchester, and Inspector Kerressey on board the City of Cork, will have arrived out long before she reaches New York, consequently news of the arrest of Muller cannot be expected in England before the middle of September. • It is believed that the City of Cork steamer, with Inspec tor Kerressey on board, had p a ssed the Victoria before the latter was spoken with by the boss Rose. If the autho rities had taken the precaution of sending out a Govern ment steamer to intercept the Victoria it is clear that the supposed murderer of Mr Briggs would be now in safe cus tody. It is the more surprising that this course was not taken, as in the case of the ManninE , ,s,it will be remembered that the Lords of the Admiralty, on being informed that two persons bearing the name of Manning had taken pas sage on board a ship that left the London Docks for New York, immediately despatched the Fire Queen Government steamer in chase down Channel. The ship was come up with and overhauled without olifficulty off the Bill of Port land—the suspected parties were examinetand being found not to be the Mannings that w ere wanted, the question was at once set at rest. The Victoria had a fair run down to the Chops of the Channel, w here she must have been de tained for some days by the coictrary winds that set in. A despatch boat could easily lut:.vo overhauled her, and the omission to do so left open to Muller the chances of escape that would have arisen had the ship put into any harbour in England or troland, and still leaves him in a position to avail himself of any opportunity of get ting off that the chapter of accidents may throw in his way.

HER MAJESTY'S SPEECH. MY LOADS AND GENTLEMEN, We are commanded by her Mejesty to release you from further attendance in Parliament, and, at the same time, to convey to you her Mrjesty's acknowledgments for the zeal and assiduity with which you have applied yourselves to the discharge of your duties during the session of Parliament now brought to a close. Her Majesty commands us to inform you that she greatly regrets that the endeavours which she made in concert with the Emperor of the French, the Emperor of Russia, the King of Sweden, to bring about a reconciliation between the German Powers and the King of Denmark, were not suc cessful, and that the hostilities which had been suspended during the negotiations were again resumed. Her Majesty trusts, however, that the negotiations which have opened between the belli. gerws may restore peace to the North of Europe. Her Majesty having addressed herself to the Powers who were contracting parties to the treaty by which the lonian Republic was placed under the protectorate of Great Britain, and having obtained heir consent to the annexation of that Republic to the K ingdom of Greece, and the States of the lonian Republic having agreed thereto, the Republic of the Seven Islands has been, formally united to the Kingdom of Greece, and her Majesty trusts that the union so made will conduce to the welfare and prosperity of all the subjects of his Majesty the King of the Hellenes. Her Majesty's relations with the Emperor of China continue to be friendly, and the commerce of her subjects with the Chinese Empire is increasing. Her Majesty has been engaged, in concert . with the Emperor of Austria, the Emperor of the French, the King of Prussia, and the Emperor of Russia, in an endeavour to bring to effect an amicable arrangement of differences which had arison be tween the Hospodar of Moldo•Wallachia and his Suzerain the Sultan. Her Majesty has the satis faction to inform you that this endeavour has been successful. Her Majesty deeply laments that the civil war in North America has not been brought to a close. Her Majesty will continue to observe a strict neu trality between the belligerents, and would rejoice at a friendly reconciliation between the contending parties. GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, Her Majesty commands us to convey to you her warm acknowledgments for the liberal supplies which you have granted for the service of the pre sent year, and towards the permanent defence of her Majesty's dockyards and arsenals. MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, Her Majesty has observed with satisfaction that the distress which the civil war in North America has created in some of the manufacturing districts has to a greet extent abated, and her Majesty trusts that increased supplies of the raw material of industry may be extracted from countries by which it has hitherto been scantily furnished. The revolt of certain tribes in New Zealand has not yet been quelled, but it is satisfactory to her Majesty to know that a large portion of the native population of those islands have taken no part in this revolt: It Las been a source of much gratification to her Majesty to observe the rapid development of the resources of her East Indian possessions, and the general contentment of the people inhabiting those LREUTER'S TELEGRAMS.] DENMARIC THE DEBATE ON THE ADDRESS. COPENHAGEN, JULY 27. RUMOURED ARMISTICE. extensive regions. Her Majesty has given her cordial assent to many measures of public usefulness, the result of your labours during the session now brought to a close. The Act for extending to women and children employed in various trades the regulations applica ble to factories in general, will tend materially to preserve the health and improve the education of those on whose behalf it - vas framed. The Act for authorising the grant of Government Annuities will encourage habits of prudence among the working classes, and will afford them the means of securely investing the results of their industry. The Act for Authorising a further advance for public works in some of the manufacturing dis tricts will contribute to alleviate the distress in these districts, and will afford the means of com pleting many works of marked importance for the health of the population. The Act for giving increased facilities for the construction of railways will diminish the ex penses attendant upon the extension of those im portant channels of communication. It has afforded to her Majesty the most heartfelt satisfaction to observe the general well-being and contentment which prevail throughout her domi nions, and to remark the progressive increase and development of the national resources, and to find that, after sufficiently providing for the public ser vice, you have been able to make a material diminu tion in the taxation of the country. On returning to your respective counties you will still have important duties to perform essen tially connected with the linking together of the several classes of the community, and her Majesty fervently prays that the blessing of Almighty God may attend your exertions, and guide them to the object of her Majesty's constant solicitude, the welfare and happiness of her people. DROUGHT IN THE MIDLAND COUNTIES.--Very general complaints ars made in the counties of Notts, Daby, Lincoln, and Leicester cf the continued want of rain. The Trent is lower than has been known for several years, and the pasture lands are as bare, almost, as the high roads. Allusion was made to the subject in numerous pulpits on Sunday last. The wheat :Top looks well, but there is a danger of the ears ripening too fast. MURDER AMONG THE PROFESSORS.—The Cologne Gazette speaks of a strange crime which has just been committed in the town of Notherg, near Aix-la-Cha pelle. Prof. Kluzen had left his house when another pro fessor, M. Lang, rushed on him, and exclaiming, " We must both die," fired a pistol at his face, wounding him most dan gerously. Then taking another pistol from his pocket M. Lang blew out his own brains. Both had played at cards together the night before, and parted on the most friendly terms. Prof. Klexen lies in a desperate state. COPENHAGEN, JULY 2S, 1,54 P.M. TOLL• GATE AMENITIES.—" Sorry ! Lor' bless you, sir, I shall be jolly glad when 12 o'clock comes, and it's all over.

THE INSURRECTION IN TUNIS. MARSEILLES, JULY 29. Letters from Tunis confirm the news of an attempt having been made to murder M. Beauval, d'Espeiulle. An officer attached to the Emperor's staff had been ordered to make an enquiry into the affair and report thereon to his Mcjesty. General Ismall had returned from Beja on the pretext of ill health, leaving his column, with 12 cannon, blockaded by the insurgent Arabs. CENTRAL AMERICA. SOUTHAMPTON, JULY 29. The Atrato brings the following intelligence from Central America : In Nicaragua a scarcity of rain is complained of. Both the pastures and plantations of coffee and, cotton are suffering from want of water. The peace of the country is said to be established on a solid basis. The cotton excitement continues in the Centml American States. In Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Sal vador, and Guatemala the subject is said to be occupying the entire public mind. In Salvador a newspaper has been established, whose object is to promote and make known the industry and resources of the country. The President of the Republic is still on his visit in the Provinces, and has been received in all the departments with great cordiality. In the department of Sonsonate the cultivation of sugar cane has been largely increased, and many new plantations have been established. The politi cal state of the country is satisfactory. The value of the exports of Guatemala in 1863 was 1,621,761 dols. The cultivation of cochineal is fast giving way to that of coffee, sugar, and cotton, The visit of General Carrera to Los Altos and adjoining districts was well received. MEXICO. The Mercantile Chronicle, published in Panama, on the 6th July, says :—" By way of Guatemala we learn that the state of Chiapas is determined to resist the regime of the Empire. In that and other Southern States of Mexico the Republican Govern ment is the only one recognised, and the inhabi tants are resolved to resist, at all hazards, the armies of the intervention. General Polfirio Diaz was at Oajaca with a large force. CANADA. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. The Canadian Mail steamer N6va Scotian, Capt. Graham, which left Quebec on the 16th inst., arrived in the Mersey this afternoon. The Hon. Mr Brown had been re-elected with out opposition as a member of the Canadian Par• liament. The Quebec Chronicle says :—" We are glad to find that the general tone of the press of the lower provinces is favourable to the action taken by the Canadian Government during the recent Ministerial crisis, and full of hope as to the result. The opinion of our neighbours is the more valuable, because it is uninfluenced by party bias. Wholly free from the rancour of past differences, which, in some cases, has prejudiced the judgment of several Canadian journalists, the views of our lower province con temporaries may be freely accepted as those of im. partial observers. They look forward, in a spirit of liberal and enlightened patriotism, far above:the petty level of mere provincial politics to the esta blishment of closer relations between Canada and her sister colonies of British North America, to the formation of such ties as will combine national strength and dignity with internal peace and com mercial prosperty. It is to be hoped that these expectations may be realised, and that the recent political events may contribute to the general wel fare." The St. John (N. B.) gorning News says :-- "From the tenour of Mr Brown's remarks it would seem that it is the intention of the Government to send delegates to a convention of delegates from the Lower Province, which is to meet at Charlottetown, P.E.I. in a few weeks, and to England, to seek the cooperation of the Imperial Government. The step taken by Mr Brown in this instance is a bold one ; and few will doubt that his abjuration of party alliances, in order to benefit his country socially, politically, and otherwise, will be appreciated by intelligent people generally." The coroner's inquest in the case of the St Hi liare Buoge disaster has at length been brought to a conclusion, their verdict being that the accident was owing to the gross carelessness of Tom Birnie, the engine-driver, and he was committed to take his trial for the offence.

Their evidence given in Irelan d is considered most important. THE ToM TIT, the TOAD, THE SNAIL, TO 5 SPIDER, AND TILE BEE.—I used to see toads fre' quently sitting under the landing board, and only ecenr l Y discovered they were there " seeking whom they cou ld devour.' On one of these ugly visitors being laid open his maw was filled with bees which he had sucked into his ug l y jaws. The tomtit, also, is a dangerous little enemy. Ile perches on the landing place of the bees on a wet day, ta p e with his bill, apparently inquiring after the health of 01 ' inmates ; a watcher bee comes out to reconnoitre, and i 5 snapped up by the wicked hypocrite. The spider, 018° ' catches weary bees in his web, but the occasional use of brush disposes of this peril. The snail attracted by the warmth occasionally creeps in. The bees successively attack him, but find their stings blunted and broken by t he shell as shot is by our ironsides. Failing to injure or re move the intruder they have recourse to a plan which w ith Pi' cater more than instinct. They cover him up polls, a kind of gum which they use for stopping up c revfe l and not cnly does he die for want of air, but he is preventer from giving forth offensive odour by the air-tight ease shroud.—The Times Beenzaster.
